Remember Me, Baby.
What a tiring day

Andrew raised both his hands carefully, signaling that he had given up and was not going to fight. However, the man before him actually responded harshly.

“Job! I said don't move!” he snapped while swinging the stock of his weapon violently to Andrew's temple.

Andrew's head jolted to the right violently. A warm liquid flowed from his throbbing wound. His ears were ringing, making him feel that there were thousands of fireflies flying behind his eyelids. However, he remained calm and faced his enemy back without saying a word.

The army jacket chuckled with satisfaction and called out to his friend, “Cast here, Fool! Help me tie him up, then find the girl. Boss will definitely be happy and give us a lot of gifts.”

“Hei!”

The army jacket was shocked and immediately turned its head when it heard a female voice coming from behind its body. Andrew took advantage of the opportunity without thinking. It moves naturally following instinct, hitting and locking the man's wrist. A split second later, he twisted the man's arm until a crackling sound was heard clearly along with a heart-wrenching howl of pain. From behind the army jacket, it appeared that the broken bone protrusions formed a strange angle.

Not giving a chance, Andrew immediately slammed the man to the ground, then locked his neck and made a twisting motion as he had done earlier. In an instant, the man who was howling in pain suddenly shut up with his neck spinning almost 180 degrees.

On the other hand, Keiko who was already preparing with the sword in her hand immediately jumped towards the man in the hat who was still scratched with her eyes closed. His slender body bounces and spins twice, then lands on one leg near the still-stubbing man. In one movement that looked light but full of power, Keiko pulled her sword to the side. The meaning of the man's mouth before him stopped.

Blood was everywhere. The deep black puddles on the ground expanded rapidly around the body that was already separated from the other organs. The fishy aroma that soaks the soil really makes nausea. Keiko almost spewed out her entrails, but she held it all her might. Now is not the time to be weak.

“Quick call Hiro, I will turn on the helicopter,” Andrew said as he picked up one of the weapons and handed it to Keiko.

“OK. Be careful,” replies to Keiko while receiving the weapon handed over by Andrew and using it as a lighting tool to return to the location Hiro is located.

“Hiro!”

“I'm here,” Hiro replied in a weak voice. It was not that he had not heard of the fierce battle that had just occurred. But his whole body was numb. He was cold until he started shivering.

“You okay?” keiko asked when she realized Hiro's face was very pale when exposed to the spotlight.

“Yes. Don't fret. Won't die now. At least, before I manage to get your heart—“

“Stop bragging.”

Keiko put Hiro's hand on her shoulder, then began to sweep it down the path. From a distance, the faint sound of a helicopter had already been heard.

Keiko heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Andrew has already managed to light the thing. Don't be afraid, after arriving in the city, we will treat your wound.”

Hiro chuckled softly to the point of making him cough and almost out of breath. The intonation of Keiko's voice when talking about Andrew was completely different than when talking to her.

“You really fell in love with that foreign man, huh?” hiro asked after managing to catch his breath back to normal.

Keiko's body stiffened slightly when she heard Hiro's question. Falling in love .. Yes, he did fall in love with Andrew Roux. Not because of his good looks or possessions, but because .. somehow, he always felt safe and calm when he was near the man. There was a feeling he could not explain. That their souls were bound by an invisible red thread. Ah, how do you explain it to Hiro?

“Don't blame me. You left me to him yourself.” Finally Keiko muttered softly after busy struggling with her own thoughts.

Hiro snorted and threw his face away. He left Keiko to Andrew Roux because he felt it was impossible to escape again. Who would have thought things would turn around like this? Is it wrong if he wants to take back what should have been his?

“Um.”

“Even sobbing you?”

“Sometimes the jokes are a little annoying, but not to the point of hurting me.”

“Hum ... so ...” Hiro's smile looked sour as well as bitter. He then asked again, “ He ever touched you?”

Keiko paused for a moment before replying, “If you mean touching in a bad sense, she never does. Never force me to do what I don't like.”

“Good. If he forces you, I will break his legs and hands myself.”

This time it was Keiko's turn to snort. He sneered as he said, “Didn't you yourself almost ever do it?”

“It ...” Hiro's forehead creased deeply when recalling the events of a few months ago as he sneaked silently into Keiko's room. “Sorry, it's because I was drunk .. The accumulation of my despair and my body's natural reaction made me do such an unworthy thing. I'm sorry, yes.”

“Forget it, I'm just kidding!” exclaiming Keiko. They had almost arrived near the helicopter which seemed to be ready for takeoff.

“No. I'm really sorry. About what I said about getting better, I mean it, Keiko. I will strive to be a man who deserves and deserves to be by your side.” The man somewhat shouted because the sound of the propeller spinning violently was quite disturbing.

“What are you talking about? Little quick! Enemies are starting to arrive!” andrew from the helicopter. From that position, he could see flashes of light that were increasingly moving wildly among the trees.

Keiko gasped and looked back. Andrew was right, in the back there dozens of lights dancing irregularly in the darkness, looking like an army of giant fireflies looking for prey.

“Push the button near that wall!” hiro shouted as he pointed to the right.

Keiko pointed the floodlight there and found the button that Hiro was referring to. He pressed it down and took a step back. Soon enough, a loud buzzing sound was heard as the roof above them split in half and shrank to the opposite side. Now the night sky stretched out over their heads. Suddenly the girl became excited. He immediately ran back to the side of the helikoper and threw his weapon under the back bench.

“Come, quick ride,” Keiko said while helping Hiro climb onto the helicopter.

The effort was a little difficult because the injured Hiro really looked exhausted. While the power itself is already quite drained. After helping Hiro wear his seatbelt, the girl twists and climbs up from the side next to him.

“We're ready!" it was to Andrew.

“OK. Prepare for takeoff.”

Andrew pressed the red circle on his right side and pushed the lever. Slowly the vehicle began to soar into space. From a distance, the lights appear to be moving faster and more irregularly. The shooting sounds were heard following. However, it all slowly faded away as the helicopter driven by Andrew darted rapidly through the air.

On the back bench, Keiko breathed a sigh of relief. At least now he can close his eyes for a while ....
